Wow..great story. If people stopped eating caged eggs there'd be no market.

California egg farm. The hens were rescued on Friday and Saturday from battery 
cages and will soon be placed in permanent homes. Coordinating the effort was <A 
href="http://www.animalplace.org/">Animal Place</A><A 
href="http://www.animalplace.org/"></A>, a farmed-animal sanctuary and education 
center in Vacaville, about 45 miles northeast of San Francisco. Kim Sturla, 
Animal Place's director, is working with other local organizations to find homes 
for the hens. These groups include Marin Humane Society, Sacramento SPCA and 
Sonoma Humane Society. Although California voters recently approved a measure 
that will phase out battery cages and other intensive-confinement devices, that 
law will not take effect until 2015. Meanwhile, nearly 19 million hens languish 
in battery cages in California, making these 650 hens especially lucky.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FDC061B4-E139-4961-859F-0E95057D3B38/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
